San Diego Mayor Bob Filner grabbed a domestic violence advocate by the head to kiss her forehead and groped at a name tag on her chest, according to attorney Dan Gilleon, who is representing the woman.

Gilleon, who identified the woman only by her first name, Marilyn, said the event took place at an elementary school on May 17. Marilyn is a 34-year state employee and works for a judge, he said.

Gilleon said his client would soon be filing a claim against the city — a precursor to a lawsuit — but would not say when. Filner’s attorney and the mayor’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Marilyn was with a friend who is a parent of a child at the school when Filner was visiting.

“My client is a big civil rights proponent and she was fascinated that Filner was a Freedom Rider, that he had been in a march with Martin Luther King,” Gilleon said. “They started talking about that and that’s when Mr. Filner went in for the kill.”

He grabbed her by the head to kiss her, Gilleon said. He also pawed at a sticker with her name on it that was on her chest, Gilleon said.

“He spent way too much time doing that,” Gilleon said. “He was fondling her as he was trying to get that name tag off.”

“It was totally uninvited. She was shocked by it.”

Gilleon said the episode was witnessed by another domestic violence advocate, as well as by an eight-year-old child.

The latest accuser comes on the heels of a city parks employee who filing a claim against Filner, saying he grabbed her from behind, put her into a headlock and rubbed her breasts at a city park.

Filner has announced his resignation effective this Friday, after six weeks of intense scrutiny over allegations of breast-groping, tongue-thrusting and other unwanted sexual advances toward women.

In his speech on Friday, Filner denied sexually harassing anyone and said he had no intention to “violate any physical or emotional space.”

“I was trying to establish personal relationships but the combination of awkwardness and hubris I think led to behavior that many found offensive,” Filner said.

According to the settlement terms Filner and the City Council reached on Friday, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith’s office will provide a joint legal defense of Filner and the city for claims filed for Filner’s alleged conduct in his capacity as mayor “made by current or former employees, city volunteers or city contractors.”

The City Council also last week agreed to cover up to $98,000 of Filner’s outside legal fees.
